Featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine, the 2011-12 Gatorade National Boys’ Basketball Player of the Year, 6’8 Junior superstar Jabari Parker (who turned 17 in March) had a magical high school season.

220-pound Parker lead his Simeon Wolverines team (Chicago Public League: Red South) to their best record in school history (33-1) and their third consecutive Class 4A state championship as he averaged 20.4 points, 9.2 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 3.4 blocks and 1.5 steals per game.

Parker also earned USA Basketball’s prestigious 2011 Male Athlete of the Year award, becoming the youngest player ever to earn that distinction.
